Dwight Yoakam at the Hard Rock

Is it just us, or is it hard to imagine a world without Dwight Yoakam? That peek from under the down-turned brim of his hat, the funky shuffling, second-skin jeans and a rockin’ version of country music that even Nashville didn’t know what to do with – Dwight is a musician’s hero. The effortless Yoakam returns to Tulsa on tour for his newest album, 3 Pears, for a show at the Hard Rock Tulsa Hotel & Casino, 777 W. Cherokee St. Tickets are $45-$65, and doors open at 7 p.m. in the Joint. To purchase, visit the casino’s site at www.hardrockcasinotulsa.com.
